Thanks ill give that a go, I have an arduino uno and im just trying to get readings of an accelerometer and graph the data, but unfortunatley I have no programming knowledge

Well perhaps you could learn, as one of the original arduino goals was to allow non-programmers an easier way to learn how to create useful programs they want to create. Using an arduino as a plug and play module where you can only upload sketches that others create is not always a successful and rewarding way to use the platform.
